The Meaning of Home

The meaning of home is way better than the meaning of a mansion. The meaning of home could mean a lot of things including family and memories , shelter and food and water. To begin with, it’s so exciting to get a sturdy , amazing home to live in and with a family to live with because I’ll have so much fun playing , entertaining experiences and a lot of love. First of all, since I have an amazing family I have a home to live in for the rest of my life until I'm an adult and a family that makes life wayyy more fun and wayyy more easy. For example , My family will have probably bought electronics and video games to play that will make me happy and have fun. To add on, with the electronics I might have we funny or entertaining to watch or maybe my family has a TV in our house that I can watch the funny and entertaining videos on with my family and friends. In addition , I can also hangout with my family and watch a horror or whatever they prefer at home to have fun. At the same time, I can go on delightful experiences with my family and friends like decorating our house for holidays and important days , or I could do a scavenger hunt at home with easter eggs to represent the day that god rose to heaven or as I could say paradise. An example of an experience that I could go on with my family is celebrating things like birthdays, or maybe holidays like Christmas or Easter I don't really know. I could also eat cake or maybe frosted birthday cake flavoured cupcakes on my birthday to celebrate or a relative’s birthday.Furthermore , my family will give me a lot of love because they love me as their kid and there’s no reason my family shouldn’t love the person they gave birth to. Some people I get lots of love from are from my family or as I could say my amazing mother , my kind of annoying brother and my dad who is a bit bossy. I will almost definitely have cousins who will love me and friends that will like me as a friend. To sum it up, I now know having a lovely and loving family will have so many benefits like amusing times , very enjoyable experiences and a lot of appreciation. Adding more, I love my amazing house so much because it protects me from horrible robbers and horrendous killers , gives me more space to relax and express and it covers me so when it rains or storms I don’t get wet neither my belongings.To start with , my house protects me from awful robbers and gruesome and frightening killers because my house is very very strong because it's made of wood with brick supports. Some examples of things that help protect my house are security cameras, electric locks / code locks and if you're rich maybe even a black gate fence.Some examples of things that will try break in , kidnap , kill , rob or steal from my house are dangerous murderers , kidnappers and numerous robbers but my house will keep my safe because I have all these protection methods that will keep me safe.Also , when my family got this house after it was constructed I got a lot of room to relax and express my feelings because my house came with no furniture. Likewise, since it comes without furniture you have space to express your feelings and emotions(e.g., sadness,madness,uncomfortableness ,excitedness). In the same way, since you have your own space to express your feelings it’s more comfortable and safe but when you don't have your own space it’s unsafe and not comfortable.Thirdly, my house will protect me from dangerous or as I could say horrible , horrendous weather(e.g.,hail,tornados,hurricanes). An example of a dangerous weather is hail but my home is protected from its roof so hail can’t get in. Another example of a dangerous weather could be tornadoes because they can break through houses but my house is a house which is more prepared for tornadoes so it can’t get blown around or picked up by the tornadoes.One final example of a dangerous weather is a flash flood or a normal flood or a mudslide because these 3 weathers can swipe my house straight from the ground! I know it’s kind of unbelievable but it’s true because most houses aren’t securely into the ground but luckily for me mine is.Overall, shelter can keep me safe with protection (e.g., security cameras, gates , locks), gives me a lot of space to express myself and keeps the rain and other dangerous weather out. Next, I really like really dislike (I’d use a worse word to describe how much i dislike it but there is no worse word then dislike other then hate.) that a lot of people never had clean water before (describing specific people who drink from rivers full of germs) or clean food because food and clean water is amazingly delicious , very refreshing and essential to live but since most people cannot have these things they don’t have good health and it is very concerning but we have good health because we have these things. To start with, our food and water is delicious because our food has lots of delightful seasonings , yumlisious and green herbs and lots of other delightful types of food to make it taste amazing. Even if those exist it’s not always the case that restaurants use it so some restaurant food might taste bland because there’s no seasonings, herbs and other yummy things. Some examples of amazingly delicious foods are steak, beef , chicken , spicy chicken wings , burgers , hamburgers and wayy more. Some things that can make food taste even more delicious are sauces (e.g., Soy sauce , ketchup , mustard , mayonnaise), salt , black pepper and way more! All these foods taste yummy, flavorful , tasty, heavenly, scrumshisy, delightful and there’s way more words to describe them. Secondly, the scrumptious water and food is so refreshing because it has such a tasty taste and it’s good for your health. I love refreshing drinks like water , juice (e.g., Apple juice , Grape juice , Orange juice , etc) , milk , chocolate milk and a lot more in my opinion. I also love refreshing foods like steak, chicken , popcorn, chips , pancakes ,fries , roti , potatoes because they have amazing seasonings, herbs , and sometimes little flowers and there are way more foods that I like. Also, if you didn’t know, food is fairly essential to my life and everyone else’s too because our body parts cannot function without energy just like lightbulbs don’t work without a power source. Yes it’s true, food and water is essential or as i could say a requirement because how are we supposed to live hungry and thirsty like if we were in a drought / shortage of water and the answer is WE CAN’T. Some examples of the foods that our bodies require are proteins and proteins because they contain calcium which helps our body stay standing and not floppy like a fish out of water. Some examples of proteins could be meat , grains , lobster and a lot more. If you didn’t know people need vegetables too and that could be because some vegetables give us better eyesight , their low calories , have lots of vitamins and minerals and they are very healthy just like fruits. All in all, food and water is very special to some people like me because it’s delicious , refreshing and essential to life. In conclusion, the meaning of home means a lot of things like family and memories , shelter and water and food. Do you now know how special you are to have a home?
